Brabus is always surprising and strives to stay one step ahead of the competition to maintain this character among its fans.
To do this, the German tuner has announced the launch of the Rocket 1000, a four-door coupe with 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, based on the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE Performance, with a limited production of only 25 units and a price of €450,000.
Brabus’ new “missile” combines a 4.5-liter V8 biturbo engine with 796 hp and a torque of 1250 Nm, which is combined with an electric motor with 204 hp and a torque of 320 Nm, allowing for a total power of 1000 hp and an impressive maximum torque of 1820 Nm, electronically limited to 1620 Nm to protect the 9-speed Speedshift MCT sports transmission.
These insane numbers allow the Rocket 1000 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2.6 seconds and reach 300 km/h in just 23.9 seconds. The top speed, as expected, is electronically limited to 316 km/h. Brabus has announced that this asphalt “monster” has a range of up to 13 km in 100% electric mode.
The superlatives of this model also extend to the exterior, which features a carbon front spoiler that transitions to the wide carbon wheel arches at the front.
Inspired by the design of the original 2006 Rocket, this hybrid supercar is also equipped with carbon aerodynamic blades integrated around the generous air intakes of the spoiler to optimize the direction of airflow to the wheels, as well as to cool the front brakes.
Another essential element of this supercar are the forged Brabus Monoblock P wheels, 21” in the front and 22” in the rear axle, equipped with extremely wide SportContact 7 high-performance tires provided by Continental.
